500 ml can from Yamaya, to complete my tour of 4 beers from this brewery. Medium golden color with a tall, fine head. Bready malts in the nose with spicy Czech hops. Somewhat faint but not bad. Biscuity malts, touch of oxidation, some esters, light herbal hop flavor and a touch of citrus. Decently clean, bitter finish. Rather light in body but not too light. Not in the best condition, but not at all bad for only 4% abv. .
